*Lenin Collection*

² Lenin's inquiry to Sklyansky was made in connection with his receipt of the following telegram: "17/2 – 21. According to a report from the Ustmedveditsky District Military Command from comrade Paukov, based on information for whose accuracy he vouches, the former Commander of the 2nd Cavalry Army, Mironov, who arrived on leave in the Ustmedveditsky District, was preparing a widely organized uprising against Soviet power in the district. In the uprising were to participate the local population, local military units, allegedly units of the 21st Caucasian Division that had arrived at that time via the station at Archeda in Kamyshin, units of the 15th Caucasian Division. On 18/2 Mironov was secretly arrested by the District Military Command, away from the population and military units, and sent in a separate railway car with an indictment to Moscow. In the conspiracy allegedly participated certain representatives of the Executive Committee. At present arrests of conspiracy participants are being carried out in the Don region; all those arrested no later than 18/2 should already have been delivered to Mikhailov. Commander-in-Chief Pugachev. Military Commissar Pechersky."
